30 Coins started off with a real bang with this crazy episode, which is awash with a very Italian, Catholic-horror sensibility, as a cow gives birth to a human baby and things just get weirder from their.
The outline of the series is neatly sketched out - muscly priest with secrets, young veterinarian with gumption, well-meaning but rather bland mayor and his shrewish wife who is I assume getting the short end of the narrative stick so the show can do something with the vet and the mayor.
The supernatural bad guys are after something the priest has - one of the dumb parts of the episode is everytime he says "what do you want" they say "YOU KNOW WHAT WE WANT" and yet it turns out he doesn't. But that's par for a series that based on what I've seen has a lot of stupidity on both sides.
I've seen the next few episodes and they're quite enjoyable, but not nearly as weird or action-packed as this one. But *this* episode is really pretty amazing.
